On the up side, he isnt really that far behind some of the others on the team. On the down side, he isnt really that far behind some of the others on the team.

Ramos, great progress on the terminators and your flier. I don't think you've posted any pictures of your fliers base yet but you may want to check out Solars display board that you'll be having your awesome marines on. You may want to see about having the base have a solid concrete look, or perhaps a metal grating or something to help have it fit in with Solar's board, just my two cents.
Once again Solar, let me know if I'm right in stating that the Red Scorpions and Marines Errant will be in a general rubble free environment.
Great updates! Can't remember the last time I visited your blog (if ever?) but the latest marines, termies and fighter details are all incredible! Freehand on the razorback a couple of pages ago is just perfect as well.
@GiraffeX: Thank you! Glad you like the color. It was an experiment in toning them down with the oil wash, and Im glad its one that turned out like it did! And lemme tell ya- Its gonna be HEAVEN to paint a color other than gray!!
@SL: IM PAINTING NOW ALWAYS PAINTING ALL THE TIME *panics*
@WM: Yikes. Hope we all finish in time!
@MT: Yeeeeah.... they all just kinda DS'd onto the painting table and are refusing to leave! Hopefully finishing their colors will encourage them to leave xD
@IA: I havent even started building the fighter's base yet- mostly for the reasons you mentioned. Im definitely gonna check with him after I finish these Scorpions. Then Ill whip up a nice base for it! Ive noticed, though, that the flyer stand is a royal pain in the ass to set up. Gonna need to figure something out for it. I do LOVE the board hes building though. Damn fine work!
@CC (Wow so many handy initials around here ) : Thanks a ton! Definitely stick around- More are rapidly approaching!
And tonight's update: Just about done! These guys are now at home on their bases, which I've built to look like a torn up road.
You might notice that the Mantis Warriors took a casualty, rather than the Tiger Claws. I figured that color would fit a little better- orange might have been too bright. But Dont worry Ice: Your boys in orange were so nice to lend the tail from a fighter plane for the sergeant's base!
Tomorrow they'll be done. Just gotta pop on silver, red and a couple details!

The Loyalist display will mostly be rubble free. With the amount of work left to do, I will add as I go . The base color is more important. Most of the GW grey line of colors should be fine.
Don't panic. Paint.
I plan to get Git's speeders off the display floor. It'll be nice if I can do that for your flyer as well. Assuming it's the standard + shaped stand. So you could go with a generic grey for now or do something fancy and it won't alter the look.

Sounds good SL- Ill definitely be working with you to figure out something thatll work well. Integrated flying bases on the display sound awesome! And yeah, the Neph's on the basic + stand. Actually should be getting paint on it soon!
Btw- RS termis are done- Final pics tomorrow after varnishing!
And Pffft... Heresy...

Ok. So the Inquisition (Praise the Emperor) decided to give me parole (Praise the Emperor) , seeing as I am vital to the war efforts in the Maelstrom Zone (Praise the Emperor). So Im free (Praise the Emperor) so long as I provide my full support to the Loyalist efforts (Praise the Emperor).
Without further delay, the Red Scorpion Teminators are complete!
Very nice sculpts with a TON of detail!! The FW model of Culln in particular was a real beauty. Though i have to say, Im glad that Im done with Gray for a while!Here are individual shots- Very big and VERY zoomable!
I object in the strongest possible terms to the last mini. I will be sending a heavily armed strike cruiser with a veteran negotiating brigade on board to discuss same.
Beautiful work though...
Anvildude: "Honestly, it's kinda refreshing to see an Ork vehicle that doesn't look like a rainbow threw up on it."
I quite like the way they came out, particularly that last one. And fear not, there are more of those gray bastards in the queue, including more termis. Now on to white and blue/teal/turquoise!

Bwahaha!! Your end is nigh, devotees of the Tyrant. You "Wardens" shall become prisoners to His divine judgement!
@Novelist47: Thanks! Its actually a Mantis Warrior to fit with the Badab War theme (Its the very army our dear Gitsplitta plays, btw )
So In the gathering of bitz and models sent to me by WM, I got a surprise for my future Counts-as Ezekiel- and my was I surprised...
It was a FW Libby!
From what I understand, Due to a bubble in the cables on his left side WM sent out for a new one from FW. (I removed the cable in its entirety- to be replaced later).
Inconvenient for him, but a great boon to me!!
Also in the pack of bitz was this weird (and rather giant) 2-handed sword. so that got me thinking of a few poses for the model, including this one, which Im quite pleased with:
The sword will be sunk a little into the ground (works well due to its large size), and the left arm will be one of the pointing arms from the assault kit, I believe.
Nice. I love that figure. Need to get one myself. Reminds me: place FW pre-order soon!
Instead of sinking the sword in thecearth, how about sticking it in a fallen enemy? You might build up the base a little so 'Zeke is high enough for the sword to rest comfortably.
Dying's the easy way out. You won't catch me dying. They'll have to kill me before I die!
